Modern Video Player

Modern Video Player turns an ordinary video into a controlled, Moodle-native activity with playback validated on the server — so completion and watch-time actually mean something.

On that foundation it adds engagement heatmaps and a cohort dashboard, signed-URL and segmented-HLS delivery with dynamic watermarking, cloud and provider sources, seven branded player skins, learner aids like resume, chapters, transcript and captions, and audit-ready exports.

Appearance and focus mode

• Seven player styles: YouTube, Vimeo, Netflix, Plyr, Apple, Classic and Minimal
• Per-activity style choice with an admin-set default, title position, control-text toggle
• Focus mode hides navigation, course index and right blocks; auto-pause on hidden tab

Standards, platform and trust

• xAPI statements (initialized, completed, flagged) to any LRS
• LTI 1.3 Advantage publishing via core enrol_lti; activity events and logs
• Privacy API (GDPR) — declares every learner data point stored
